After 4 years on my Cervelo S2, I decided it was time for a change. Ordered up a Specialized Venge today....,
Wanted to go with some aero road bars. The Zipps have been popping up occasionally on Chainlove, but hadn't seen them in awhile.....was just trolling over there and.....VOILA!!!
$150 for these bars is a SCREAMING deal.
Now I just have to tell Mrs. CK about it......*shudder*

Funny thing about the cervelos in the shop the other day. They all have gray or black and white paint schemes. Out of all the bikes on the shop floor, regardless of brand, not a single bike without compact cranks. I'm not guessing you need or want a compact crank where you live.

The S2 will get eBayed to offset the cost of the Venge. Even with that, I bailed on telling Mrs. CK last night. Have to ahve that conversation tonight, I guess.

@ Chinook - I confirmed the serial # before I bought it.

Yeah, Cervelos went primarily compact a couple of years ago for the tri bikes. I briefly had a P2 and it had compacts....a complete waste for me. I really only used about 6 cogs....and I was running an 11-21, IIRC. The only time I used the small CR was when we were on vacation in the Wisconsin Dells and I went for a few rides with actual hills.

I think the the majority of people, compacts are great and make sense. But if you live here or someplace like FL, they make zero sense.

If you have kids, you might be able to get away with saying the old bike will be a hand-me-down. My son picked up my old Giant this weekend and will attempt a 40mi charity ride with me this weekend. Nice 9sp dura-ace/ksyriums. Not bad for a 13 year old! The bike is older than he is!
